Key Differences
Following are just some of the ways my top-candidate™ database is different than other resume databases online.
Quality control
How often do you open a resume with great expectations and started skimming it, only to end up closing it a few seconds later in disappointment because the most basic criteria is not met?
- Good stability.
- Consistent career track.
- Highly focused, specialized skills set.
- University degree.
The redundant Open–Skim–Close process is very tedious and time consuming. Because all of the resumes in my top-candidate™ database are quality controlled to meet this basic criteria, every time you open a resume you can get straight to the business of analyzing experience and skills without having to check the elementary things.
Screening notes
The majority of the resumes in my top-candidate™ database includes my personal screening notes. Yes, I have spoken with most of the candidates in my top-candidate™ database! My screening notes cover issues like salary history, reasons for leaving previous employers, preferred commuting range, career goals, communication skills, interpersonal skills and much more. My screening notes provide you with important additional information a resume by itself does not provide.
Passive candidates
Unlike the popular job boards, candidates cannot remove their resume from my top-candidate™ database. Every good resume I receive is included in my top-candidate™ database and stays there. When searching my top-candidate™ database, you will find a lot of candidates you will not find on the popular job boards.
Furthermore, I am frequently asked by passive candidates to include their resume in my top-candidate™ database. They want to stay informed of opportunities but are concerned about discretion and privacy. My top-candidate™ database meets their needs. This is another reason you will find candidates in my top-candidate™ database that you will not find anywhere else.
Los Angeles region specific
My top-candidate™ database is arguably the most comprehensive database online of technical candidates in Los Angeles and Southern California. My top-candidate™ database is an aggregate of over 5 years in the business collecting resumes. My top-candidate™ database includes over 5000 resumes representing technical professionals in Los Angeles and Southern California!
In fact, my top-candidate™ database is so expansive it is highly likely that any quality candidate you receive from another recruiter already exists in my top-candidate™ database. Why pay another recruiter a full fee for sending you a candidate that you can just as easily find yourself in my top-candidate™ database for half the fee?
Recruiter expertise
Without even having to sign an agreement up front, you will benefit greatly from my effort and expertise. Most significantly, when I check on the availability of a candidate for you. In most cases, the candidate will not be actively looking and you will depend on my recruiting skills to sell your opportunity well enough for the candidate to consider leaving their current position.
Other assistance I provide includes setting up interviews, prepping candidates, reference checking and much more. My top-candidate™ database is the only resume database online where recruiter expertise is part of the package.
